Book recommendation - Light, Science and Magic
Written for stills photography but the science (dont worry, it's very easy to read) and techniques are equally valid for video.
Some 3 point lighting videos
Some further videos to watch about 3-point lighting techniques. Always remember that these ideas are a starting point , it's important to really look at how each light is illuminating YOUR subject . Play with the lights, move them and study the effect . And, always look from the camera's point of view A great video on 3 point lighting. Importantly, mentions how to expose for the background and only then add the three lights one at a time. Long but worth watching. Another 3 point lighting video Don't worry about the brand of lights, concentrate on the type/size. A great example near the end that includes a clever effect using a light bounced off a mirror covered in strips of gaffer tape. Super Dry, but to the point If you're in a hurry....
